📣 Our 2025-26 Rollout Continues! 📣

Laugh, reflect, and rediscover the importance of intimacy and curiosity in a uniquely bold performance of the S*x Lives of Puppets!

Inspired by real stories from the National Survey of S*xual Attitudes and Lifestyles, this clever show asks honest questions about relationships, desire, and what it means to feel connected at every stage of life. With humor and tenderness, the puppets open up about topics we often keep quiet—recommended ages 16+.
